Recently I have become concerned with the threats that anthropogenic climate change pose to the natural world. I have started digitizing  my landscape paintings and using a laser-cutter to burn these images into natural material such as wood. With piercing precision, smoke and flames, this machine adds a sense of  the destructive brutality that the climate poses to these once pristine environmental scenes. 

Musicians Steve Sedergreen and Michael Jordan connect and improvise to my painting of the Rockpools and Ocean waves at Powlett River near Kilcunda. I edited this video to capture the result, totally unrehearsed and unscripted music that fuses seamlessly with the colours and details of the painting. It is an invigorating collaboration with beautiful results.
